The Association of Hydrologists of India born in 1981, as part of its activity to promote and co-ordinate research in hydrological aspects has been publishing the Journal of Applied Hydrology since 1988. It has already caught the attention of Universities, Institutes and various other agencies who have subscribed for the journal. It may, however, be mentioned that the journal cannot be published with subscriptions and donations alone. Hence it is felt that some of the pages of the journal be thrown open to advertisements. We request the various agencies to make use of the offer and strengthen the journal.
